Nice paintwork, I like it!


Once I would be glad to read your way and experiences in painting the faces of the figures.
I know - of course theoretically - how it shoud be done, but in the reality, on a figure with 30 mm height, it is not so easy to carry out.
I use 2¤0 brushes, and even with those tiny points is pretty difficult to hit the eye, eyebrow, shadow of the nose etc (using oils).
Any experiences would be welcome.


Back to Merlino's figure: the face is also nicely done (even the stubble!!!  ;D )

Beautiful, the light effect really stands out.  Highlight and shadow seem second nature to you.  Wonderful effect
